How is Monster Hunter arguably bigger than Wii Sports?

Argument: Wii Sports has sold more than every Monster Hunter game, both in Japan and worldwide.

Not much of an argument.


MHP2 and MHP2G sold about 5 million combined, a lot more than Wii Sports. Basically that's a game and an expansion of the same game. I wouldn't say that sales of the Sims or Sims 2 tell the whole story of that series' popularity, when the expansions make up 60 or 70% of the series sales. Wii Sports hasn't even had a sequel yet so there's no point of reference which is why I said "arguably."

So I could make a much better argument that Monster Hunter is more popular than Wii Sports in Japan than I could make an argument that you aren't a high-and-mighty condescending jackass who makes every thread more obnoxious with your presence. Please learn to use the forums without derailing threads and talking down to people.
